I think they're silly. Pandering to the HM crowd is just trying to sell more basses to the unsuspecting.

They might add a slight bit of sustain, but actually aren't really that much better than the old stock bridge. I have both an Am. Std. P & a Jazz, strung with Chromes and I have them both top-loaded anyway. Still, the '08 and newer Am. Std. basses are about the best mass produced basses for the $$$ and play like butter!

Fingers, mutes, strings, better EQ - magic wood in the body and of course, a great big piece of metal on the headstock to really make it heavy.

I think I hear ---- can it be----?




It's --- why it's TINK!
